<p>Primarily derived from World Data Bank 2 with numerous reservoir additions from other sources, primarily imagery. The diminishing areal extent of the Aral Sea and Lake Chad derives from recent satellite imagery.</p>
<p>Ranked by relative importance, coordinating with river ranking. Includes name attributes.</p>

<p><strong>Supplemental Data<br />
</strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>North  America and Europe only.</em></span><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>The &#8220;basic&#8221; lakes work well at scales to about  1:30,000,000, good for maps that need to include lakes as a general  reference mixed with other data themes. If your map is about lakes in  particular, or is at 1:5 million to 1:20m scale, add Natural Earth&#8217;s  &#8220;supplementary&#8221; lake data, now available for <strong>North America</strong><em> </em><strong>and  Europe only</strong>.</p>
<p>The supplemental data provides <strong>four times</strong> the number of  features, at the same level of generalization as the &#8220;basic&#8221; feature  set.</p>
<p><strong>Supplemental Data – <span style="color: #ff0000;">Europe</span></strong></p>
<p>Data primarily derives from Catchment  Characterisation and Modelling  (CCM) Database 2.1 by the European  Commission,  Joint Research Centre,  Institute for Environment and  Sustainability. For information about  this product and the source data,  see <a href="http://ccm.jrc.ec.europa.eu/" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http://ccm.jrc.ec.europa.eu/', 'http://ccm.jrc.ec.europa.eu.');" target="_blank">http://ccm.jrc.ec.europa.eu.</a></p>
<p>The modified CCM rivers and lakes offered   here are intended for  small-scale cartographic use. Only a portion of  CCM data is used,  representing major rivers and lakes (classes 4 and  5 in the MAINDRAIN  attributes column). Generalization and smoothing  were applied to these  selected data—the CCM vectors contain 9 percent  of the data points  found in the original source data.</p>
<p>Seamlessly merging CCM rivers and lakes  with the existing Natural  Earth base data required many adjustments.  CCM rivers that coincided  with Natural Earth rivers were mostly deleted.   In a few cases where  the existing Natural Earth data were found  egregiously  incorrect, the  CCM data replaced the Natural Earth data.</p>
<p>The remaining CCM data were fitted  Natural  Earth rivers, lakes,  coastlines, glaciers, political boundaries, and  shaded relief derived  from SRTM Plus. The positional adjustments were  minor given the 1:10  million-scale of the data. In addition, the  headwaters  of some CCM  rivers were clipped slightly downstream to provide visual  separation  with other river headwaters and to avoid the crests of ridges   on the  shaded relief.</p>
<p>River and lake name attributes derive  from the CCM. Natural Earth  contributors assigned the other attributes,  including  Stroke Weight,  Feature Class, Scale Rank, and Feature Number.</p>

<p><strong>Pluvial Lakes – <span style="color: #ff0000;">Mostly North America</span></strong></p>
<p>Originator of pluvial (late quaternary) lake data is Mifflin, M.D., and Wheat, M.M. in 1979 and then digitized in 1996 as part of the DDS 41 series from U.S. Geological Survey. For more information, see: Raines, G.L., Sawatzky, D.L., and Connors, K.A., 1996, Great Basin geoscience data base: U.S. Geological Survey Digital Data Series DDS-41. Another of their sources was King, G. Q. in unpublished Material: &#8220;Late Pleistocene lakes and glaciers of the Great Basin&#8221; by Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology in 1975. Digitized the King map and added this to the Nevada map.  Added a few lakes not on NBMG Bulletin 94. This was downloaded by the authors of Natural Earth and modified to fit with the rest of the project from the USGS Earth Science Information Center (ESIC) DDS-41, which is in the public domain.</p>
